Re: Having A Baby Abroad?

I'm a UK citizen, married to a Russian national. We're currently waiting for her spouse visa application result. We're expecting our 1st child in September, so may end up having the baby in Russia. If so, assuming my wife's visa is granted, what kind of paperwork/visa applications will we need to b...

Can We Spend Our Money?

Hi All, We have just submitted our spouse Visa application and are now waiting for the result. We applied using 100% savings, not income, for the financial requirement. My question is, is it safe to now spend some of that money, or could there potentially be follow-up checks as part of the applicati...

Re: URGENT! Self-Employed Finance Requirements

Not a requirement if you're qualifying with £62,500 in savings which have been held in an accessible account for a minimum of 6 months. Thank the gods! I thought I was in trouble for a moment there! Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. You helped us out of a panic there! So, do I ne...

URGENT! Self-Employed Finance Requirements

I am sponsoring my Russian wife for her spouse visa. I am self-employed, but I am fulfilling the financial requirements with 100% savings, no income. What documents, if any, do I need to provide for proof of employment? I've read something about needing to provide full accounts for the previous year...

Re: Spouse Visa - Supporting Document translation

Well congratulations to you both and thanks again for your help! Any tips on the personal statement part....ie the 'How we got together / Our story so far' part? I don't know if it should be anecdotal, or just-the-facts bullet points!

Re: Spouse Visa - Supporting Document translation

My wife just successfully got her FLR (M) VISA and we used this company (https://www.lingoservice.com/) They were quick to respond and the cheapest of three companies we contacted. We needed Japanese to English but they seemed to be setup to handle most languages. They provided email and hard copie...

Re: Spouse Visa - Supporting Document translation

No, you cannot translate them your self. They must be officially translated with the translators details etc and verifiable by ukvi. Thanks for your quick reply CR001. Follow up question, who should we get to do the translations? Does it need to be someone like a solicitor or notary? Or just someon...

Spouse Visa - Supporting Document translation

I'm currently filling in a spouse/family Visa application for my Russian wife. Obviously a lot of the documents and certificates we're providing as proof of finance and proof of relationship are in Russian. I know that they all need translations, but I'm wondering if those translations MUST be stamp...
